Ahh. Well, if you build it and then need it later, it's already there. If you don't and then need it later, you have to go back and build it and may be in a hurry. I tend to get all hardware working even if I'm not using it at the time. Of course, you could plan to do that when you update your next kernel and it's just a little more to do but you will be doing most of it anyway since you're updating. It's a thought. >> Glad it's working now. I need a shower. I been cutting down trees and >> dragging them to a pile to rot or burn. I'm tired, I stink which >> requires a shower and I'm hungry.

Given that you had things working but not making noise, my first thought was the mute. I ran into that a couple times myself in the past. One would think it would default to a low level but something you can hear. I guess tho they think you should be forced to adjust the mixers and other sound control settings so that you can enable/leave disabled to your liking. It's 6 of one or half a dozen of the other I guess. ;-) Back to cutting trees. Got my insect spray on today tho. Things sound like large helicopters flying around out there. O-o Dale :-) :-)
